Figure 1 Shape of Barrett’s epithelium.
We originally divided Barrett’s epithelium into two types based on its shape. A: L type, in which the difference between the C extent and M extent was < 2 cm and the visible red columnar epithelium could be observed as a lotus-like shape; B: F type, in which the difference was ≥ 2 cm and the columnar epithelium of Barrett’s epithelium was observed as a flame-like shape.
